PM will also receive the country’s first container consignment (post independence) to be sent on an on inland waterways vessel. This consignment containing cargo of the food and beverage company Pepsico set sail from Kolkata in the last week of October.

He also added that this was not only a part of the goods transportation process but also a living symbol of New India’s New Vision.

Further, he spoke that waterways connectivity would help in shipping cottage industry products as well as the agricultural produce of UP.

Then he announced that the Inland Waterways Terminal would surely help in boosting trade and industry in the state. Basically, this waterway will link Uttar Pradesh with Bihar and West Bengal through the riverine route.

Several opposition parties would be backing no-confidence motion and they have joined hands against the Modi government.

It was about three weeks ago when PM Modi accepted a similar challenge from Indian cricket team’s captain Virat Kohliwhen he tagged PM Modi in his #FitnessChallenge video.

Seems like PM Modi is walking on Virat Kohli’s path. On Wednesday, he posted a video in which he was doing some exercise moves and yoga poses.

He tweeted and shared his thoughts and some morning exercises, apart from yoga.

Here are moments from my morning exercises. Apart from Yoga, I walk on a track inspired by the Panchtatvas or 5 elements of nature – Prithvi, Jal, Agni, Vayu, Aakash. This is extremely refreshing and rejuvenating. I also practicebreathing exercises. #HumFitTohIndiaFitpic.twitter.com/km3345GuV2

A part of his fitness routine that Modi filmed and posted on Twitter involves some walking on a track inspired by nature’s five elements. Also, in the video, PM Modi is doing a variety of yoga poses including pranayama.

Well, for your information, Kumaraswamy and Modi’s parties were rivals in Karnataka elections. The Janata Dal (United) and the Bharatiya Janata Party had a tough fight to form a government. In that, Kumaraswamy emerged as the winner finally.

After challenging the Karnataka’s Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy and all IPS officers “especially those above 40”, Modi again wrote a tweet and said,

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is about to expand a welfare program to India’s 500 million workers as he offers re-election in 2019. Though, the plan is sounding good but, we guess the time is very limited to execute this plan.

The PM firstly wants to focus on the three programs i.e. old age pension, life insurance and maternity benefit to most working citizens. He is currently including only these three programs.

In this context, the government has prepared a bill to extend benefits to all workers by merging and simplifying 15 federal labor laws into one. According to the sources, the bill may be present in July in the upcoming session of Parliament where the national poll will be conducted.
As for now, the plan seems to be one of the widest and strongest mass benefit programs in the country of 1.3 billion people and it actually comes after the health protection plan comes in Feb and targeted to cover 100 million poor families, dubbed ‘ Modicare’.

According to officials, For better result, the government plans to investigate the project in six districts in the months leading up to the federal elections due in May next year.

“Nobody can deny the importance of social security for the country’s working class and it is overdue,” said Satish Misra, a political analyst at the Observer Research Foundation in New Delhi.

Though the whole process seems a challenging process for the government to make the system sustainable, and to bestow benefits from the $376 billion budget. Well, the thing to be noticed here is that the plan is involving maternity, pension, and death or disability and leaving out some other department unemployment and child support, said officials.

The government is hoping for the good results and this move may impact the economy in a positive way. Like giving the benefits mostly to informal workers who contribute to about half of the country’s GDP, it would enhance the quality of life and raise productivity. It will also improve the productivity.

All About Money Matters

In an interview at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi the economist professor Santosh Mehrotra, said that: Giving minimum social benefits to the working class, who make up about a fifth of the country’s population, would cost the government 0.38 percent of total GDP or about 500 billion rupees annually.

He also added that: In 22 years, India will be an aging society like China. If it doesn’t start working on social security today, who will pay for those old people?”

As per the news, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has refused to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the UK. The reason revealed by the sources at the India High Commission in London –

“The bilateral agreement on the return of illegal Indians, which junior home minister Kiren Rijiju had pencilled in January, was not signed in April when Modi visited London because India did not see any progress on the British side of the agreement.”

The deal was primarily meant to have been the bilateral agreement signed during PM’s visit. Theresa May – British PM told Mr. Modi that – “the UK would consider further improvements to its visa offer if, at the same time, we can step up the speed and volume of returns of Indians with no right to remain in the UK.”

Yesterday a spokesperson said that the MoU by the minister of immigration and Indian minister of state for home affairs paves the way for a more efficient process for returning Indian nationals who are in the UK illegally.

A senior high commission further said –

“When May went to India she said progress on returns would help progress on UK visas for Indians, but we are not seeing that. We are seeing the denial of spousal visas and cancelling visas on small pretexts and a hostile environment. We need to see some easing of migration, especially of short-term visas such as for Indians students and those coming to work for companies”

The official said that if they are providing better visas system to Chinese why, not to Indians? Another reason for not signing the agreement was that the timelines in the memorandum were not realistic for getting confirmation of people’s identities.

The timelines in the MoU were that the Indian authorities would have nearly 70 days to verify the illegal Indian in the UK without ID and only 15 days to confirm the identity of someone with ID.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with his counterparts including Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina is all set to attend the convocation of Visva Bharati University and to inaugurate the Bangladesh Bhavan in West Bengal today.

With BJP’s victory in Karnataka, Narendra Modi has declared that the era of dynasty politics has ended. He asked the party office-bearers and cadre to work towards nation building and not serve the interests of any political family, which seems like an oblique dig at the Congress and the Nehru-Gandhi family.

He Addressed The National Executive Meeting Of All Bjp Fronts

Modi said the party rank and file should not strive to serve any political dynasty or family but put in hard work for nation-building. He reiterated the party slogan of “nation-first”. “The era of political dynasties is over. For us hard work means working for the nation. The cadre should work for the nation and not just for the party,” Modi told the Morcha heads and its members.

The Party Aims To Celebrate Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th Birth Anniversary With His Teachings

The party will also work towards spreading the word about Mahatma Gandhi’s teachings as part of the 150th birth anniversary celebrations. “The Prime Minister emphasised that the Gram Swaraj programme under which BJP ministers, office bearers and leaders visited 21,000 villages across the country was a huge success.

These villages should be revisited by BJP morchas and party workers. He set the target of reaching out to 22 crore poor families and educated them about the achievements of the NDA government in the last four years,” a senior BJP leader said, preferring anonymity.

Beside this unparalleled and unprecedented win, PM Narendra Modi, today assure that his government won’t let the Karnataka’s development to be stamped on. The party has emerged as the single largest party but fall short of the majority in the assembly, the other party .i.e. congress and JD(s) will work together to form the new government.

Addressing the party leaders Mr. Modi said – “I want to assure the people of Karnataka that the BJP will not allow the state’s development journey to be trampled upon. It will not lag behind for ensuring the state a bright future.”

Attacking the lies, Prime minister said that BJP has formed its government in non-Hindi speaking states like Assam, Maharashtra and other states. He further said that citizens of Karnataka have given an appropriate reply to those with distorted thinking.

Quoting the response of people in his rallies in which they request him to continue speaking in his language, Mr. Modi said some ‘fissiparous force’ may not like him and interestingly they should know the mood of the masses.

While addressing, he also praised BJP president Amit Shah in contributing his constant excellent strategies making the party to win one after another.

12th May 2018, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered prayers at famous Muktinath temple and became the first world leader to do so. Yesterday, PM Modi and his Nepal equivalent KP Oli drew a tourism circuit with Ramayana as a theme.

The two launched a bus service between Janakpur which is considered as Sita’s parent’s place and Ayodhya which is her in-law’s place.

PM Modi said while inaugurating the Janakpur – Ayodhya Bus service –

“Without Nepal, India’s faith is incomplete. Without Nepal, India’s history is incomplete. Without Nepal, India’s dhams (temples) are incomplete. Without Nepal, our Ram is incomplete,”.

he further said that this mythological connect will strong the ties between two countries. He also announces a 100 crore package to reform Janakpur.

PM Modi said that the two ties between the countries are back to the Treta Yug during King Janak’s rule.

He further said – “And the bondage built by Sita… is still strong. It is this bondage which attracts people from Rameswaram to Pashupatinath, people from Lumbini to Bodhgaya and I was also attracted with the same bondage”.

He said – “We discussed all the aspects of partnership between Nepal and India, and assured that India will help Nepal in making the landlocked country land linked as per the vision of the PM of Nepal.”
